News Americas, TORONTO, Canada, Fri. Aug. 11, 2017: Many are asking if a video showing a woman being groped and fondled by a group of men at the recent Toronto Caribbean Carnival, Caribana, was sexual assault or simply just “carnival?”

The video showing a light skinned, heavy set women being ganged up on by a group of men, who grab and suck her breasts that have spilled out of her top while another pushes his finger in her mouth, was a ‘gang bang’ or a ‘good time.’

In the video, the woman, who has not been named, seems to be enjoying the sexual attention of the multiple men who have gathered around her, groping her as two grab her exposed breasts and suck on them publicly. She then bends over, flipping up the rest of her dress and exposing her panties and butt cheeks. Then she braces her head on the shins of another as other men grab her from behind and grind on her butt.

Those who filmed the video from the carnival and posted it claim the girl was having fun and she did not appear drunk. But on social media, many have called it sexual assault while still others insist she is simply a “100% hoe.”

The woman in the video for her part has released a statement on social media in response, saying she is “fine” and she will not let people define her and be judged by “a bunch of hypocrite social conformists.”

Still she admitted the person the world is seeing in the video is “not the best version of herself.”

The video comes as Canada officials say police-reported sexual assaults, for 2016 were 21,014, a decrease of 1 percent from 2015.

The Toronto Caribbean Carnival, formerly Caribana, is a festival of Caribbean culture and traditions that has been held in the city for some 50 years. It attracts some 1.3 million visitors each year. Caribbean carnivals are known for vulgar wining and half naked women but for some, this has gone to an entirely different level of slackness.
